Looks like I am going to pick it up today. I maybe should just keep this thread alive. Karl, I am probably going to keep all my R's. I kind of regret selling this one in the first place. I wish I could find a couple extra wide frontends I have some plans for a few of them.

Well I have it. A lot rougher than when I sold it. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them up. Some things are not as I remembered them but that is OK I guess.

Yeah, post some pics!

I am in for the night and I forgot the camera in the shop. I did mess with it a little today though. Felt and sounded like it had a bad reed so I pulled the intake and stuff off and they where fine. The intake gasket was half missing though. I also did a compression test and it only has 60#'s. I will pull it apart tomorrow maybe, and throw a new top end on it. I just got another set of sand paddles on some 4x110 rims so if I get it going I will throw them on and play in the snow some before it's all melted.

Well here are some pics of it as of last night and this morning.

Hmmm. This is not going to work. The cylinder looked about the same.

AAAAhhhh. That's better. New topend.

**pipeline triker** · 03-09-2015, 09:09 PM

I had this top end on the shelf. It is .75 over bore with heavy porting. It was all run in already and just sitting there just waiting for this trike. It is running in all the pics. Runs real nice and has a wild midrange. I left the old tires on it as our snow was melting fast and sand paddles in the mud really make a mess. I was soaked as it was.

The swinger set up is a one off deal I am sure. Look at the pics of the engine from the left side and in the back ground of the compression gauge, see if you can see something strange. Hint, it is not an R swing arm but I am pretty sure it is Honda.

what exactly did you port.. or just cleaned up the exhaust port?

83-85 200x? Looks like the X sprocket hub…

This top end was ported before I got it. Everything on the intake side is opened up. The swing arm is an 84 200x, The frame has been modified to use that swing arm and 200x shock also. Kinda different but it works well. Starts on 2 kicks cold.
